Lockheed Martin Shares Slip as TD Cowen Trims Price Target

Key Facts

1Lockheed Martin's stock price fell 1% after TD Cowen lowered its price target from $600 to $560.

Amid shifting sentiment in the aerospace and defense sector, Lockheed Martin faced downward pressure following a notable analyst revision. The stock price declined by 1% after TD Cowen lowered its price target from $600 to $560. This adjustment follows recent misses in earnings per share (EPS) and revenue estimates, prompting a reassessment of the defense contractor's valuation despite a broader consensus 'Hold' rating.

The downgrade mirrors a cautious stance across the defense industry, as peers like RTX Corp and Northrop Grumman navigate supply chain constraints and evolving procurement cycles. Per market data, defense stocks are currently trading at multiples that reflect uncertainty over future defense budget allocations, while expert analysis suggests that the current price target cut is a reaction to softened top-line growth (per MarketBeat reporting).

Lockheed Martin (LMT) closed at $523.22 (close July 10, 2026), having tested a day low of $513.81 during recent trading. Traders should look ahead to upcoming US economic catalysts, such as the Initial Jobless Claims on July 9, for broader market direction, while monitoring the $513 level as a potential technical support zone for the stock in the near term.
